[edit] History

Founded in 1961 as a secondary school for boys, Padua Franciscan became co-educational in 1983 and as of 2005 was the largest private, co-educational secondary school in northeast Ohio.[1] After initiating the "Greening of Padua" program to improve the overall look of the campus, Padua then acquired Camp Cordé - a 15-acre property in Parma to be used for Padua's boys and girls soccer programs. Padua's principal rivalry is with Holy Name High School, located in nearby Parma Heights.
